The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 646: J-11 goes offline!

This grand military parade injected a powerful force into Liu Tao, making him more motivated to devote himself to his career.

And in this kind of investment, time passes very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it is already late December.

At this time, the first batch of three J-11 prototypes, the most advanced domestic air superiority fighter, are about to hold a roll-off ceremony.

The J-11 fighter jet's roll-off ceremony can be said to be of great significance.

This is China's first heavy fighter, and it is a third-generation heavy fighter.

Its significance is no less than that of the J-10 fighter jet.

With the successful development of the J-10 and J-11 fighter jets, it was announced that China had finally gotten rid of the old path of imitating Soviet-made fighter jets and embarked on its own path of innovation.

Whether it is the J-10 fighter or the J-11 fighter, they are all completely independently designed and developed, without relying on any foreign forces!
Therefore, the J-11 fighter jet has received great attention this time, and many leaders will attend the roll-out ceremony.

This year is definitely a festive day for China.

Previously, the J-11 was successfully developed and its maiden flight was a complete success. Now, the J- third-generation heavy fighter has been successfully developed and is about to roll off the production line.

In just one year, two third-generation fighter jets were successfully developed, including both light and heavy fighter jets!

This also means that the Chinese Air Force can finally catch up with the development of the world's third-generation fighter jets.

Twenty years have passed since the third-generation fighter jets were equipped in the 70s. Both the Soviet Union and the United States have at least thousands of third-generation fighter jets. Other countries such as France and the United Kingdom are also all equipped with third-generation fighter jets.

This is actually a great pressure on China. After all, the importance of military strength is self-evident. It is the most important force in maintaining national unity and peace.

And now, China also has its own third-generation fighter jets, and there are two models.

This makes the Air Force and the aviation industry feel like it's Chinese New Year, or even more exciting than Chinese New Year.

Liu Tao personally sat in Guifei to welcome the arrival of the leaders.

Liu Tao brought the leaders to the offline ceremony site, which was filled with flags and slogans.

The leaders were invited to sit in the VIP seats and they took their seats one by one.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the J-11 fighter jet. Just at a glance, one could clearly feel that this J-11 fighter jet was much larger than the J-10 fighter jet.

mighty!

Domineering!

Liu Tao personally served as the host and presided over the offline ceremony.

Liu Tao attaches great importance to the J-11 fighter jet, because it is a national weapon, the hope for the future of the Air Force, and an important magic weapon for killing the enemy and winning the victory.

Having only the J-10 fighter jet is not enough, because the J-10 fighter jet is a light fighter and is still somewhat insufficient in terms of combat effectiveness. We need a heavy fighter jet like the J-11.

The leader seemed very happy and his speech was very inspiring. He hoped that Guizhou Aviation Industry Corporation could become a world-class fighter jet design and development base, develop more advanced fighter jets for the Chinese Air Force and Navy, and lead the world trend.

The leaders have high hopes for the 011 Aviation Industrial Base under construction. They hope that in ten years, this will be the most important aviation industrial base in China, capable of producing advanced fighter jets, transport aircraft, tanker aircraft, bombers, carrier-based aircraft, electronic reconnaissance aircraft, early warning aircraft and civil airliners.

This inspired all the staff and cadres of Guifei present! The J-11 fighter is just a new starting point, not the end!

Because they also need to develop more advanced fighter jets for the country, as well as transport aircraft, tanker aircraft, bombers, carrier-based aircraft, electronic reconnaissance aircraft, and early warning aircraft, all of which are lacking in China.

They also want to develop civil airliners for the country so that Chinese people can sit on domestically produced aircraft.

The ceremony was carried out according to the procedure, and the whole process was recorded by the media reporters. It will not be reported immediately, but it will definitely be reported one day in the future. And these will definitely be made into a documentary in the future, which will be recorded in the history of China Airlines and become the most precious video memory.

Then, we took a group photo.

For a group photo, of course not everyone can be in the photo together.

It will only be the main researchers and leaders.

Liu Tao was sitting next to the leader with a bright smile on his face.

After the roll-off ceremony, the leaders began to sit in the cockpit of the J-11 fighter jet one by one, feeling the charm of this domestically-produced third-generation fighter jet, and everyone was full of praise.

The powerful aircraft engine, comfortable seats, and advanced avionics system make this J-11 fighter seem like a science fiction work.

Liu Tao was explaining on the side. After all, as the chief designer of the J-11 fighter jet, no one knew it better than him.

"Comrade Liu Tao, how is the performance of this J-11 fighter better than that of the J-10 fighter?" asked a veteran in the Air Force.

Liu Tao smiled and said: "The J-10 fighter is a single-engine light fighter, which limits the J-10 fighter's firepower, fire control, combat radius, altitude, speed, range and other aspects. It will not be as good as the J-11 fighter, and it will also be inferior to the J-11 fighter in terms of potential exploration."

"The J-11 fighter is a twin-engine heavy fighter. Its maximum bomb load and combat radius are far superior to the single-engine light fighter J-10 fighter. It has high maneuverability and complete all-weather combat capabilities. It can use advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles to destroy enemy aircraft. It mainly carries out air superiority combat missions, and of course it can also perform air-to-ground combat missions." Liu Tao said: "If you want to compare, you can regard the J-10 fighter as the US F16 fighter, and the J-11 fighter as the US F14 and F15 fighter."

"The J-11 fighter jet will form a complementary 'high-low combination' with the J-10 fighter jet to gain air superiority for the Chinese Air Force," said Liu Tao.

He knew that no matter how much he explained, older people like them would not understand much.

But if they compare it to the models already owned by the Chinese Air Force, they will find it easy to understand.

因为这些年，华夏歼6、歼7、歼8战斗机没少与F14、F15、F16战斗机进行空中对抗演练，F14、F15、F16战斗机也经常进行彼此的空中对抗演练。

The result is very clear, and everyone knows it.

"Can the J-11 fighter jet compare with the F14 and F15?" The eyes of the Air Force representatives lit up.

Their favorite fighter jet is the F14 'Panda' fighter jet, followed by the F15 fighter jet, and the F16 fighter jet can only be ranked third.

If the Americans hadn't asked for too high a price, the Air Force would have wanted to purchase another batch of F14, F15 and F16 fighter jets, because these three advanced fighter jets do have advanced performance and are very easy to use.

"The J-11 fighter is definitely superior to the F14 and F15 fighters, and there is a lot of room for improvement!" Liu Tao said affirmatively.

He knew that some people within the Air Force deified these three American fighter jets, viewing them as supreme and inviolable.

But Liu Tao is still full of confidence.

Because he has a golden finger!
